hi there

Not sure if anyone has had the same problem but my at high rev range seems start popping and cracking.

apparenlty from behind theres alot of black smoke and crackles coming out.

just seems to keep on popping when i floor anywhere above 5000rpm at first gear.

can anyone help?

Edited by thinh
nah not just first. happens all the way through to 3rd gear never been able to get higher.

and whats t he usual ignition checks?

i had something simular and it was just worn out/lower grade sparkplugs or to bigger gap if not coilpacks worth a check cheapest first

oh no worries. i got a set of new spark plugs at home but just never got around to changing them.

il try put them in tonight.

Sounds like detonation to me. Could be time for a new fuel pump and a tune up.

Could also be the spark blowing out at high boost that that will usally happen when boost comes on as aposed to at high revs.

Change and gap the plugs. If it still happend then its detonation which will kill a motor prety quick.

oh okay thanks alot for all your help but now i cant even test out my new spark plugs

cause my car wont even run =/

becuase after i came back from the mountins near home ( thank god) my car started losing

power. everthing slowly started dieing, and then everything shutdown.

i can jump start the car and let it run off the jumper battery but the moment i

take the leads off the car just cuts out.

PROBLEM AFTER PRBLEM =[

    • Went to a drift practice day at a local circuit (held on the reserve parking area behind the grandstand) for the first time in about 15 years. Some kei cars were drifting as well, a not so surprising Suzuki Carry truck, and two 1st gen Daihatsu Copens that were converted to rear wheel drive(!) using Daihatsu Boon X4 transfer case, prop shaft and rear diff, obviously omitting the front driveshafts. They looked really fun to slide. I heard that they cost "about half" as much as a Nissan Silvia etc to run.  On the track 'Tech M' a local BMW tuning garage had a customer track day. Mainly recent models but there was one E36 which looked ancient among all the current models. It was cool watching the drifting and then turning around and seeing random people thrashing their M3/4s  central-circuit-drift-practice-2025-05-18-long-yt.mp4
    • I prefer it with those wheels (sacrilege?) 馃構 Here's a photo of a fully original one for reference. The price is $350K....
    • I would like to keep it around 15k but if I need more to make it reliable and not have to worry about the car breaking I can go more. It's my project car so I'm just trying g to figure out what needs to be in it i know basic things like turbo cams injectors I'm just unsure of the size and the specifics so I'm spending alot of time on Google and its mostly rb25 and rb26 not alot on neo
    • This. They would need some tricky maneouvering to keep the income out of the country (the US). Which isn't helpful if that's where you want the income to end up.
